Your question is pretty vague. It might help if you specify what you want to know. I'm sure the answers you are looking for are here if you let us know what it is you want to know the difference in. They are very differnt body wise, but share some mechanical identity.

It was a major change year. Similar to 93 and 94 mustangs...two different cars body wise, but share some mechanical aspects.
